They just started distributing Larceny here in MN this spring and I am a fan. At $24/bottle it has become a staple on my shelf.

Great, now I want a whiskey.

Lol

Do you drink whiskey cocktails at all? I ask because I use Larceny when I can in one of my favorite cocktails, the Paper Plane.

Paper Plane:

0.75 oz lemon(or "citrus" if you're at a mixology type bar)
0.75 oz aperol
0.75 oz amaro nonino
0.75 oz larceny or whatever you prefer.

Shake and double strain into chilled glass.

Nicely balanced between citrus and sweetness. Reminds me a lot of Sweet Tart candy which was one of my favorites as a kid.

I'll have to give that a try. I enjoy cocktails but I'm usually in "something brown, drink it down" mode.

I agree. I think its delicious. I finished off the Elijah Craig last weekend. This, and something in the decanter (not sure what it is, don't remember lol).

Want to try their Distillery series Bourbons.. though they are pricey at $50 for 375ml

 

[pltrgyst]

This is probably our favorite bar anywhere -- The Partisan, in Washington, DC. It's the place where we've been drinking our way through Buffalo Trace's Single Oak Project. Here's the bottle list -- not very strong on Scotch, but great on bourbons (pages 31-36).

Latest review, this one of Wiser's 18 yr old Canadian Whisky.

 

[RichMahogany]

There was a sherry cask whiskey I tried the other day whose name I forget. Sooooo good. Subtle orange, cherry, and deep spice on the finish. If you can't tell get I'm a big fan of long, complex finishes. Mouthfeel too.

Here it is

I've read good things about WW. Never had the pleasure.

Blanton and poker on a Thursday night.

Lost my cat Lucy today. She went too soon, but I'm toasting the 12 years we had together with an 18-year-old whisky.

Maybe a 12-year-old Laga would've been more synergistic, but she was a dear friend, and dear friends get the rarer and more expensive stuff.

I'm sorry for your loss. My condolences.

I was watching John Wick 2... anyone recognize the bottle?

Blantons.

 

[RichMahogany]

Blantons.

That label doesn’t look like a typical blanton’s label though. Maybe it’s a rye(do they distill a rye?), cask strength, small batch or something like that.

 

[RichMahogany]

 

[NiceShot]

Well done sir. I have been enjoying my bottle of Blantons so much.. it's almost gone. Glad to see it's John Wick approved.

Not whiskey, but pretty damn good.

 

[Milo013]

How is that not a whisky? As the saying goes, "All Scotch is whisky, but not all whisky is Scotch."

Nice bottle! Binny's is a must-stop whenever I get to Chicago. Where did you buy it? Do they have stores in MI now?

I'm down to 1 otherwise I probably would. Got one for @detroitdad and another for @ChaosRock. Drank one and have the last sitting on my shelf.

 

[pltrgyst]

Thanks -- enjoy it!

Pretty much anything from Edradour is interesting, to say the least. I've tasted the original numbered Ballechin 10-yr. bottlings, but not this Binny's 11. They must be buying a lot from Signatory these days to pull that off...
